BLUE OYSTER CULT 'E.T.I. Revisited' (CD) 

Re-recorded versions of prime BLUE OYSTER CULT material, never released before, recorded in some point in 1983, for a special TV studio session. The selection here is largely culled from their golden years. This version of “This Ain’t The Summer of Love” might have been surpassed by that of Solna’s Screaming Dizbusters but it still smarts. Some bugger has shuffleplay-like stuck “Godzilla” in the middle of “Flaming Telepaths” and “Astronomy” with no respect for it’s previous suite-like tension but what the hey. This is a credible take on the original hootch. There’s no chicken and egg type deal to deal with here then. These are reconstituted highlights from a combo that steered me well.  BLUE  OYSTER CULT were and, on some occasions are, still it. They swing and swung some of the finest riffola ever amped beyond 11. They were punk rock in their day and the sonic quasi-metal equivalent of what would eventually come to be known as a David Lynch movie. Brothers Bloom, Dharma and co. took us to other dimensions unfettered by the dungeon and dragoned-up lame-oids that would follow.
